There's a tiny bit of horror and and a lot of humor in Aaron Reynolds' Creepy Pair of Underwear! (Simon and Schuster, 2017), and a plenty of underpants-spurred hilarity is sure to ensue when young readers hear or read this spookypants tale.Īrtist Peter Brown, who earned a Caldecott Honor Award for his collaboration with Aaron Reynolds in Creepy Carrots! (see review here), outdoes himself in this one. Will the Creepy Underwear have a return booking on his bottom? Jasper finds that even for a big rabbit, there can be too much of a good thing, and now there's way too much darkness in his bedroom. He even mails them to China, only to receive them back in record time, with souvenirs-a pair of chopsticks and a toy panda! Finally Jasper slogs out at midnight with a shovel to bury the creepy underwear deep in a hole on the top of the distant Crookhanger Hill.Īt last he drags himself into bed, switches off his bedside light, and lies down in the dark room with a satisfied smile. But no matter where he stashes them, they return, back on his tushie, still ghoulishly green and glowing. Jasper tries everything to rid himself of the dreadful drawers.

Finally Jasper falls into a fretful sleep, but when he wakes up, he finds that he is wearing the creepy briefs again. Jasper skins out of the spooky pants and stuffs them into the bottom of the laundry hamper, but the glow in his room remains just as greenish and ghoulish as before. Even piling a pillow over his face can't keep the creepy green glow out of his eyes. But despite repetition of his 'big bunny' mantra, the green and ghoulish glow of his lower half creeps Jasper out. Jasper can't wait to wear the creepy skivvies. I'm not a little bunny any more! I'm a big rabbit! In Day-Glo Green, with a Frankenstein face glowering on the front, they are perfect! Mom thinks they're too creepy for her bunny, but Jasper insists. Mom grabs the last three packs of Plain White, thinking this trip is going to blissfully, er, brief. There's no alternative for undies, so Mom and Jasper are off to the Underwear Store.
